HOWTO: Repair a dead K750i

From experience, I know that finding an article, guide,
tutorial or HOWTO that tells you how to fix or repair a dud k750i is hard work. I intend this
howto to answer how to fix a Sony Ericsson K750i.

Let me first start off with what you could have done to your phone for
it to now stop be working; by identifying this you should have some idea whether this article is
for you or not. Have you tried to flash your phone? tried altering the CDA? or change the CID of
your phone? If so, then continue reading, otherwise if didn't, look elsewhere.

Allow me now to quickly tell you what I did to my phone for it to stop
working. I was attempting to de-brand my phone using a cruiser cable. Following a set of
instructions written in Spanish, I quickly came to a state where the phone flopped over on itself
and didn't want to play anymore. The phone wouldn't power up and there was no outward sign that
told me that the phone was still operational.

However, I was saved by a very friendly and warm guy (gbrooks3) who
talked me through the process of recovering the phone. I'll list the steps I did to recover the
phone. Please note before carrying out any of these steps that I in all instances had the phone
off. Telling the PC application to flash the phone before connecting the phone (whilst holding
the C button). Holding the C button is equally as important prior to connecting the cable than
anything else.

If this guide didn't help you, or if you have any further questions regarding this page,
please make a comment on the
se-nse.net thread regarding this topic, and I'll try and answer it, otherwise someone else will
try.
